 |
|
Hi,
I'm a newbie in Linux. I used Linux sometimes, but I've never actually build everything from scratch like in Gentoo.
I emerged gentoo-sources and I enabled the stuffs I needed. My system is:
- Athlon XP 1900+ (1.6 GHz)
- ABIT Mobo KX7-333R
- RAM 2 GB
- HDD 120GB x 2
- NVidia GForce 4 Ti 4600
- SB Live
- Kingston Ethernet network (Tulip)
- CDRW/DVD combo
I used ext3 for my file system. I install Linux in my hdb. My hda is for WinXP -- so, I planned a dual boot.
At first I booted up with Gentoo CD (1.4 rc3), it hangs up until I rebooted and entered mem=896M. Then everything is okay up to the kernel compilation step. The compilation itself is okay, but when I boot, it throws out Kernel Panic at sched.c (I think is line 568). I only enabled -O2 optimization.
I thought it was due to low latency scheduler patch -- so I disabled both low latency patch and preempt stuff. I left only standard stuffs on just to make my hardware running. I also set the memory limit to 4 GB (instead of the default "off") and user space to default at 3 GB. Yet the kernel panic persists.
I really don't know what to do. I tried to install Mandrake 9.0 and 9.1 -- also kernel panic, but that's another story.
I have been using Mandrake 6.2 too and have compiled kernels, X, and KDE myself years ago. I just never come into this situation. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I don't know what may be causing your kernel panics, but compiling a kernel does not use your cflags in the /etc/make.conf file. It uses cflags set in the kernel config or make file. I also know that the tulip driver and scsi do not like each other for some reason and cause boot problems. Add noscsi to the install cd boot prompt
| Code: | | boot > gentoo noscsi |
also add noscsi to your grub.conf kernel line. It will eliminate any misbehavior between these two.

Really a newbie?
